only 7 days, 1 week! until i leave my little family for the mtc. i don't remember a time in my life where i have been so fearful of the unknown. however, i find comfort in the following scripture:

2 timothy 1:7.for god hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.8.be not thou therefore ashamed of the testimony of our lord ... but be thou partaker of the afflictions of the gospel according to the power of god;9.who hath saved us, and called us with an holy calling, not according to our works, but according to his own purpose and grace, which was given us in christ jesus before the world began.

miss annie gave me the great idea to make a "fave list" to close out the summer.

.......

my summer loves {the very best moments of summer 2009}:

-my new short do-graduating with my bachelors -becoming brave enough to wear russain red lipstick-seeing "up"-planting my lavender plant {and reaping the benefits ever since}-seeing "vertigo", "rear window", and "dial m for murder" at the gallivan-going to st george twice, and even swimming in the algae infested pool-fort wightman-the ville days, and playing ticket to ride in the park while listening to the orchestra play "the 1812 overture"-raccoon hunting {we have yet to see the little rascal}-making bracelets, meeting hickens, boating, and listening to eddie money while eating popcorn and watching fireworks in roosevelt, ut {aka the middle of nowhere}-making oodles and oodles of delectable crepes-getting my mission call!!!-seeing jakeambermicael-going through the temple-getting this headband for my birthday, in which i feel like daisy from the great gatsby {or something}-being with PAIGE every minute of every day.

my most favoritest person and bestest friend and dearest sister just moved to orem for school.

i miss her so so so so much already.

...i carry your heart with me

i carry your heart with me{i carry it inmy heart}i am never without it{anywherei go you go, my dear; and whatever is doneby only me is your doing,my darling}i fear no fate{for you are my fate,my sweet}i want no world{for beautiful you are my world, my true}and it's you are whatever a moon has always meantand whatever a sun will always sing is you

here is the deepest secret nobody knowshere is the root of the root and the bud of the budand the sky of the sky of a tree called life; which growshigher than the soul can hope or mind can hideand this is the wonder that's keeping the stars apart

remember when i told you that a little bird told me that my neighboor was feeding a raccoon ... well that same little bird just came over and informed us that "one became four." silly neighboors are feeding a little family of raccoons now {daddy, mommy, and two babies}. i am really frightened now. and you know what will happen when the cold weather comes around, the family will move into my chimney!!!
